Samuel W.

Ray’s of Life felt like a real home. I didn’t feel like just another kid in the system. They helped me get back on track with school and taught me things I’ll actually use in life.

Jorge C.

This was the first place I lived where I actually felt safe. They cared if I ate, went to school, and had what I needed. It was and always will be home and I am very thankful for my time there.

Who We Are

About Ray’s of Life

Founded in 2023, Ray’s of Life was created in honor of Raymond, a young boy whose strength and spirit continue to inspire our mission. His journey reminds us why every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen.

What began as a vision to help one child has become a growing residential care program that serves youth from across Texas. We are proud to stand in the gap for children facing some of life’s most difficult transitions, offering them a space to recover and rebuild.
